Pretty Close to Starting on Tobacco

[User Name Here]

I feel the same thing. I just love the taste of it and I crave it now. But I don't really care that much. Alot of my family chainsmokes, Those fucking camel wides get me.

I feel very close to starting smoking cigarettes..

hmm its kinda hard to explain..

The one positive motive is that it would help me to lose weight, and seeing as weight it the biggest cause of my depression at the moment im just about desperate enough to try it..
Also im fed up of pussyfooting around tobacco.. whenever i smoke it.. like with weed or when drunk or whenever.. im constantly wondering if i'll get addicted.. what it'll feel like and all that.. i cant be fucked with that anymore..

im not stoned or anything right now.. so if that didnt make sense its just because im confused..

*sigh*

any thoughts?

Don't take up something regrettable for the sake of your depression... You can't fight fire with fire.

It is not guaranteed you will lose weight with smoking cigarettes... If that's the case, ALL smokers (which is predominately most people), they'd all be thin, yet these days 1 in 3 people are 'OBESE'.

If you are self conscious about yourself, best bet is working out... Join a local fitness centre, go 3-4 times a week... Intergrate a cardio/weight training routine and keep that up.

This will also make you eat healthy...

You have more chance losing weight going to the gym for 10 min walking on the treddy than smoking cigarettes, an addiction that MOST if not ALL smokers hate and wish to stop.

You will find you will be smoking more and more, eventually burning a bigger whole in your pocket, and become even more self conscious that you taken up a bad habit to substitute a depressive feeling, in which can be easily solved by doing the right thing and you will live life as a 'regretful smoker' and will become not only depressed about this, but you might also find you won't lose the weight you are hoping for and go to an even lower state of depression down the track.

What should you do?

Don't smoke tobacco unless you WANT TO smoke it
Join a gym
Keep smoking that weed :stoned:

yo its cool if you smoke an occasional cig but just make sure you dont get addicted. its all about self control.:thumbsup:

[budsmoker only]

im with everyone else..
dont start smoking cigs especially because you think they will help you lose weight... that is not a good way to do it... you will feel worse because later on when you wake up your gonna be wheezing and coughing up all kinds of shit that looks like it doesnt belong anywhere in your body....
i got into tobacco like a month ago and i was smokin it pretty often, and then one day i woke up in a coughing fit, i thought it was from smoking all kinds of tobacco but it turns out i was sick..
but anyway, i decided then and there it is pointless to smoke them because i dont wanna have to be feeling like that 20 yrs from now everyday just because i liked the feeling of the tobacco buzz a lil bit.... just not worth it to me..
and i dont believe it should be worth it to you either...
hit the gym and eat better!! the weight will start melting away...

Its coming up on a year of quitting this summer

YEAH! same here!!

Like around june-ish going into july-ish is when my year hits, and the only reason i started was because i was a stupid kid and just thout yeah all friends smoke i might as well try

(not peer pressure, we dont have that in my circle of friends, if you dont do something everyone knows and we wont even offer it to you, but you can always ask for)

Hey i wont say it again, lol cos if all the replies above havnt convinced you not to start then me saying DONT START SMOKING wont help much

Good Luck

Yeah, not worth it! I am addicted! I am only 23 and none of my friends know I smoke...Don't ask me how, I guess I am good at spraying shit, lol. It is something that I am ashamed of. Just don't start!
